Citroen van sales spring ahead in April
Citroen’s van sales sprang ahead 47.58% in April, enabling the company to gain a 9% share of the market. Strong spring-time performance from Nemo, Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay models saw Citroen’s April LCV sales reach a total of 1,340 units.
With Citroen’s year to date (YTD) LCV sales up a massive 22.61% at 6,013, the company has virtually doubled the total LCV market’s YTD gain of 11.91%.
Charles Peugeot,Head of Commercial Vehicles and Business Sector comments, “Citroen has enjoyed both a strong April and 2010 YTD sales performance, and has significantly out-performed a fast-rising market. This success has been achieved thanks to an outstanding range of products, highly attractive customer offers and consistent results across all of our LCV models.”
In 2010, Citroen has acted decisively to ensure the success of its technically-advanced, environmentally-responsible LCV product range. Building upon the strengths of the Citroen LCV range - low emissions, exceptional fuel efficiency and low running costs - Citroen has introduced an on-going programme of attractive Citroen Contract Motoring contract hire finance options.
In addition, in 2010, to improve safety, productivity and to further lower running costs, Citroen has made Trafficmaster Smartnav satellite navigation and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking standard on all Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay panel vans. Citroen has also launched range-topping Nemo, Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay Enterprise vans with comfort, safety and communications enhancements.
